Photo Journal: Bridging the seasons

The Togetsukyo Bridge and surrounding hillside in Kyoto's historical Arashiyama district are seen lit up by LEDs on the night of Dec. 9, 2015. The bridge is part of Arashiyama's scenic "Path of Lights and Blossoms," and the lights were flipped on as a test for the official illumination event along the route, which will run from Dec. 11-20, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Visitors will also be able to go off-road in the bamboo forest also along the path, and wander through the illuminated grove. Local temples will also be open to visitors on these nights. (Mainichi)
